Episode Details

Is the spiritual journey really from the head to the heart? Partly. But most people then try to disconnect the head entirely, and that does not work either.

I only wanted less pain and less suffering when I set out. We start living in the body more, which is the useful half. Thoughts are not bad, they are just thoughts. Feelings are not bad, they are just feelings. A heartbeat is not a good one or a bad one. It is a heartbeat. Once you stop grading them you can approach the whole thing from somewhere steadier.

One thing to try: Take one thought and one feeling today and refuse to grade either of them.
